Abstract
We show that the gain saturation of semiconductor optical amplifiers c an lead to enhanced sideband instability in soliton transmissions, pro vided that the amplifier spacing is comparable with the dispersion len gth. With sliding filters the pulse can be stabilized sind the radiati on created is partially absorbed. (C) 1997 Optical Society of America.
